Here's my favorite book on the Battle of the Bulge.

The "Then and Now" series has a full history as well as photographs of the battlefield just after or during the battle juxtaposed with modern photos of the SAME locations.

I was able to use this book to drive around the Ardennes Forest to find many of the locales pictured in the book.

I was also able to walk into the forest just East of Rocherath-Krinkelt, Belgium to find a foxhole line and the remains of a discarded woolen coat from the US 99th Infantry Division. The book helped me to find the exact road that 12 SS Hitlerjugend used to advance on and attack the 99th ID positions. It was the road from Hollerath, Germany.
